to pay down the deficit, and potentially to make our businesses more competitive. now, i think this balanced mix of spending cuts and tax reform is the best way to finish the job of deficit reduction. the overwhelming majority of the american people, democrats and republicans as well as independence, have the same view, and both the house and the senate are working towards budget proposals that i hope reflect this balanced approach. having said that, i know that a full budget may not be finished before march 1st and unfortunately, that's the date when a series of harmful automatic cuts to job creating investments and defense spending also known as the sequester are scheduled to take effect. so if congress can't act immediately on a bigger package, if they can't get a bi bigger package done by the time the sequester is scheduled to go into effect, then i believe that they should at least pass a smaller package of spending cuts and tax reforms that would delay the economically damaging effects of the sequester for a few more months until congress finds a way to repla

favor of reducing the deficit now. the short term, i am not in fave of reducing the deficit. but i do think there have to be some longer-term plans that give the financial markets some degree of confidence that we're not just going to blow apart. i think this is something on the longer term which is what bowles/simpson was all also, something which i favored totally. so i think that was a combination of including longer-term control over some of our big expenditures, particularly in health care. and that is something we have to do. i think the president could get some things if, in fact, he addressed some of these longer-term issue, but he walked away from that and there's no confidence that he really cares about it. >> let's talk about common economics. i would have thought you would have been in favor of immigration reform, gun control. you're saying these things should be weighed down. >> i'm incredibly in favor of all these initiative, including, of course, energy, which he should have done something about his firs
